Morphology

raised = raise (transparent) = raise + ed

Derived from 'raise' in the sense 'to increase', so the adjectival meaning 'increased' follows directly.

Etymology

Raised comes from the verb raise, which meant 'to lift', and people used that idea for amounts and numbers too. So a raised amount is one that is 'increased' above the usual level.
